Wofford is 1-1 on the season. The Terriers earned their first win of the season on Saturday with a thrilling 79-76 overtime victory over Maine.

"We are looking forward to Thursday's match-up and another opportunity to grow as a team and progress in this journey," stated Kirkpatrick. "However, I told the team it is not enough to feel good about the progress we have made since the beginning of the season. We have to continually want more. This group is not satisfied with just getting better; they want to reap the results of their hard work. Wofford is a very experienced and well-coached team with high-quality depth. They played very aggressively in their loss to NC State and in their victory over Maine."
